• FULL BIO: Andrea Sibaja

   

  Andrea Sibaja is a Spanish motorsports racer from Cordoba who competes in the FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship while working with the DEZA-BOX 77 Racing Team in WorldSSP300.

  EARLY YEARS

  Unlike many professional racers, Andrea didn’t come from a motorsports family background. Her journey began at age 13 when she became captivated by elite-level races on television. At 16, she obtained her 125cc license and purchased her first motorcycle, a Yamaha YZF 125cc street bike, before participating in her first race at 18 on a Pitbike at the Campillos circuit.

  EARLY SUCCESS

  Sibaja’s determination quickly paid off as she became the Andalusia Series 600 champion in 2014, standing out as the only female rider on the grid. She followed this achievement with runner-up positions in Spain’s Women’s 600cc Cup in 2015 and the Spanish national Women’s Open 600 in 2016. Her talents earned her two WorldSSP300 wild card appearances in 2017 at the prestigious Aragon and Jerez circuits.

  REPUTATION

  Andrea has built a reputation for exceptional perseverance in the racing community, particularly after battling back from a series of injuries that sidelined her for 18 months, requiring multiple surgeries and intense rehabilitation. Starting later than many competitors and facing financial challenges, her mental strength and determination have made her a respected figure in Spanish motorsports circles, where she competes successfully against both women and men.

  FUTURE GOALS/PLANS

  Looking forward, Andrea aims to continue competing in the WorldWCR while potentially expanding her role within the DEZA-BOX 77 Racing Team. Her long-term aspiration is to consistently perform at world championship level, drawing inspiration from her racing heroes Marc Marquez and Alvaro Bautista.
